Week 7- Inspirational lyrics

THE HYMN (O WHAT MERCY)

Verse 1
O what mercy has been granted me
for the filthy rags I’ve worn
clothed in sacrifice to great to speak
and of new life reborn
still my darkness veils all the victories

that you’ve seen me through

the prisons I have counted each

a wall of sin so high I cannot reach

Jesus Christ who died for me

gave his life so that I could be free

he gave his life so that I could be free

Verse 2 
They come to you weary broken torn
and lay their sorrows at your feet

parched and hungry for a taste of joy and from suffering find retreat

but our silence veils all the answers

that they seek from you

children cry to see your face

poor men desperate for your arms of grace

Jesus Christ who died for them

by your scars we pray their wounds will mend

by your scars we pray their wounds will mend

Verse 3
Our God of grace

our deliverer
to you be glory and fame

all our treasures we have counted loss

for to surrender is to gain

but your hope unveils all the answers

and reveals the Truth

by the cross you made a way

you will bring us to your home one day

Jesus Christ for us you died

gave the world Your love though we denied

I heard this song for the first time last week on Pandora and ever since then I've been hooked!! God has been really ministering to me through these lyrics and I really wanted to share it with you all! At the rate I am at I probably listen to this song maybe 10 times a day if not more! I hope you all enjoy this song and have a great day! 

P.s Sorry about the video.. I couldn't find any other video for this song. So just kick back, relax and let God minister to your heart as He has done and continues to do to mine! Love you all!

P.s.s Week 8- write about your fears! Sorry I'm kind of behind.. eak!! Life is just a tad bit busy!!

God Bless

At The Foot Of The Cross

At The Foot Of The Cross

By Taylor McDonald

Here I come, standing in your presence

Were victory was won,

By death you rose again

I stand at the foot of the cross.

I come offering nothing

Nothing but my faults and failures

Nothing but insecurities and mindless things

Nothing that could possibly matter.

But each time you take me back

Each time you show me you care

Trading these worthless things

For treasure and gold

A crown that shows that I am yours.

Standing at the foot of the cross

I’m made whole

Though it was my sin that placed you there

You still care.

I give everything back to you

Placing it in your hands

For without you I am nothing.

At the foot of the cross I go

Holding nothing back,

Letting things go!

The Journey

Who knows where life will take you. The road is long, but in the end, the journey is the destination." -Coach Whitey Durham

When you look at this picture how does it make you feel??

• When I look at this picture It makes me feel that although the road may be long, some times empty and un predicting, the reword in the end is worth the hardships and trials. If we would stop looking at our feel or just ahead of us we would always remember that everything we go through in life has a purpose and the reword is greater then the journey there. In this picture look at how beautiful the end of the bridge leads you to. There are lots of people, water and fun! Just because the road your on seems long, doesn't mean that the reword is never coming. Keep looking up and never forget that there is something far more greater for your life then the situations your presently in! You are loved by so many, especially by God and He has a plan for your life! 

Please feel free to comment and let me know what feeling this picture places in your mind. There are no right or wrong answers so feel free to dig deep and really think about how you truly feel. Most importantly don't forget to have fun and be creative! 

Have a great day!:)

Life

Have you ever felt like life appears to hard to handle? Some times I feel that way, but God promises us that He is always there to help us. What we can't do He can! Never loose hope!:)

Are you living in the shadows of the world?
